Customer Reviews for Merola Tile Simbols Blau 14-1/8 in. x 14-1/8 in. Porcelain Floor and Wall Tile (11.36 sq. ft./Case)

I was very happy with this tile. It is a rich blue color with some lights and darks blended in. It cut easily using a wet saw. One thing to look out for -- the size of the tile is not exactly uniform. It could vary by 1/16 to 1/8 inch in width, and could also be slightly out of square (check for square by measuring the diagonals -- if they match, the tile is square). As a result, I decided to use 1/4" spacing, as opposed to 3/16", to allow for a little bit of play in the tiles to keep the grout lines straight without losing the gap between the tiles for grout. The tile has a little bit of texture to the glazing, enough to catch a bit of grout if you are not very particular in cleaning the tiles through the grouting process. A little extra care on the cleaning during grouting will save the effort of removing any residual grout left behind once it has cured. I tiled 108 sf screened in porch. This was a substantial DIY project. Between prep (I tiled over concrete and used RedGuard crack prevention membrane underneath -- the RedGuard coverage chart said one gallon would cover 100 sf, but with rough concrete to cover I needed two gallons), layout, cutting and setting the tile, grouting, caulking the edges, and clean up, it probably took 40 hours. Well worth the effort.

LOVE the colour. Thought it was going to be more navy blue, but it's a shade or two lighter - more indigo blue.

These are large tiles that have a textured surface that gives a slip resistant surface which gives an ideal tile to use in areas that are subject to wet conditions such as a bathroom or kitchen. With the proper grouting these would be ideal for the flooring inside a shower stall or the house entrance where your shoes my be wet and high gloss tiles would be very slippery.

Hard to find green floor tile - this was perfect!!

Gorgeous tile! Definitely a brighter blue than the pictures show but a stunning color nonetheless. Take note that this tile is rough and porous and we used a sealant with it to aid with cleaning and maintenance. Also note that a lot of the tile arrived broken and so it is wise to buy an extra box in case you need to return broken tiles. In the end we needed a replacement box which delayed our project and then when the project was complete there was still so much broken tile I needed to buy an extra box to have as backup in case an installed tile breaks in the future. But this is high quality beautiful tile. We used ours for our bathroom floor. Also note that the edges have some warping which made for a tricky install. Our contractor had to spend a lot of time getting it laid out so that the warped edges weren't obvious.

A lot more royal blue rather than the navy blue shown on the website.

It's extremely beautiful; my wife loves it!

Got these tiles because I was looking for a tile that was dark navy blue, and I thought I found the right one by the picture. I got the tiles, and they were a royal blue, definitely not as dark as the picture.

Beautiful tile and easy to work with

Tiles are well made, but color is A LOT lighter blue than picture.

The tile is beautiful and looks amazing in our bathroom. Only complaint was the shipping - there were about 6 tiles that were broken and couldn't be used :0( Fortunately the tile layers were able to make it work despite that.

Like the red color and slight color variation but it only has a P.E.I. of 2 which is a concern. Will be using outdoors and not convinced of its long term durability.

Got just one box to make sure color and size would work. We will be getting a few more to complete our new kitchen floor

The tile is beautiful and I’m very happy with it!

Tile was easy to work with....beautiful color of blue!

I love this tile color and style. I did add a high gloss sealer for a little more shine, and it worked out beautifully.

The tile added a sheen to our bathroom

Unhappy with the shine or surface. Otherwise if I was using it outside it would be perfect

Easy installation, great look!

These tiles are gorgeous. The color is very deep and the finish is a matte finish. I took off a star because of a few issues that I would not expect on a tile costing this much. First they are not square and they had an over hang on the back that had to be removed. Don’t drop tools on them.

Just as pictured. Gorgeous.

if you like blue - these are great, durable floor tiles. We used white grout and love the effect.
